Description
1x seed packet containing 10x Eucomis pallidiflora ssp. pallidiflora seeds (Syn. Eucomis pole evansii).
Eucomis pallidiflora ssp. pallidiflora (better known amongst gardeners as Eucomis pole-evansii) is the largest of the Eucomis genus – a group of South African summer flowering bulbs, generally known as Pineapple Lilies.
Fully hardy when planted in the ground, this species needs full sun in a good fertile soil. Protect from strong winds which can damage the lengthy strap-like leaves. These can reach up to 1m in length in the largest specimens. Flowers are creamy white and can reach over 1.5m in height, at which point they are hugely impressive.
A wonderful plant for the herbaceous border or for making a statement!

Agave montana Seeds
1 x Agave montana seed packet containing 10 seeds.
Agave montana is a Mexican species with stiff and spiny deep green leaves. Over the past few years, Agave montana has taken the horticultural world by storm as it is both easy to grow and can take cold and frosty temperatures with ease.
Sow the seeds on the surface of a well drained compost. When larger, plants can be planted outdoors in a very well drained gritty or gravelly soil in full sun. Although this species is very cold hardy, it is well recommended to place a rain cover over the plant during the winter months. Excessive moisture or snow freezing in the crown can sometimes cause problems.
Arisaema fargesii Seeds
1x seed packed containing 10x Arisaema fargesii seeds.
Arisaema fargesii is an unfussy and vigorous species. The flattish pinky brown tubers multiply easily through small offsets.
The spathe is strongly hooded and striped brown and white, with the spadix hidden deep inside. Eventually, Arisaema fargesii can reach large proportions. The leaf will be 'tear shaped' (hastate) in young plants. As the tuber increases in size, this leaf becomes trifoliate.
Arum maculatum Seeds
1 x seed packet - 10+ Arum maculatum seeds.
Our native UK Arum. Seeds have been collected from a mixture of plants, some showing strong black markings on the both the leaf and / or the spathe. Some will have a purple spadix, others a yellow spadix.
Arum maculatum will be familiar to many as an attractive hedgerow plant. A highly variable species, a number of colour forms exist. Potentially a spreader in the garden, this is not a recommended plant for a neat and formal border, but makes a wonderful addition to a woodland or wild garden.
Please note that seeds germinate easily, but do not show a leaf for until their second year.
Passiflora caerulea Seeds
1x packet of Passiflora caerulea seeds. 10+ fresh seeds.
Passiflora caerulea, the hardy passion flower, is a vigorous semi-evergreen climber. The leaves are lobed, and an attractive deep glossy green. However, it is the flowers that really steal the show! Large, very showy and simply stunning - the exotic-looking blooms are white with blue filaments surrounding the floral parts.
Mature plants are capable of setting bright orange, inedible fruits.
Grow in a sheltered location in rich soil in full sun to light shade. If the top growth is cut back by heavy frosts, it will readily reshoot in the spring.
Rosa glauca Seeds
1x seed packet containing 10x Rosa glauca seeds.
Rosa glauca is one of my personal favourite rose species. It makes superb glaucus blue-green leaves and is an especially beautiful plant even when not in flower. Arching stems with relatively few thorns produce bright pink flowers - each of these is relatively small at around 4cm, but there are plenty of them, and they have a lovely delicate appearance. Bright red hops are made in early Autumn.
Totally hardy and very easy. Height is up to around 7 feet although it can be kept smaller. Rosa glauca is a superb shrub rose.
Rosa glauca seeds should be sown with a cold stratification - either plant in the autumn / winter, or keep in the fridge for around 4 weeks after sowing.
Zantedeschia jucunda Seeds
1x seed packet containing 10 seeds of Zantedeschia jucunda.
Zantedeschia jucunda, commonly known as the 'Yellow Arum Lily', is a superb species of Arum Lily from the Sekhukuneland mountains in the North East of South Africa. The true species is not common - this plant was originally introduced into cultivation by the late Rod and Rachel Saunders of Silverhill Seeds of South Africa.
Making bright yellow urn-shaped flowers, this is an especially beautiful Arum Lily. Fully hardy in an unheated greenhouse, we have not tested it outside unprotected yet, however, it should be hardy in a normal UK winter provided that the soil is not too wet for the colder months.
Zantedeschia jucunda seeds germinate readily - soak the seeds for 24 hours and sow into a regular seed potting mix. Gentle bottom heat aids germination.
